Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 226

Day has come, and the fighting outside the borders of Todes Kingdom has long since subsided. A large number of corpses are lying everywhere, both in the positions and in the camp. Most of these corpses are wearing the khaki uniforms of the Army of the Republic of Enkelland.

Among the countless corpses, soldiers in Todes Kingdom uniforms were cleaning the battlefield. They collected the scattered weapons and ammunition packs from the corpses and stacked them in the open space on the side of the battlefield.

At this time, except for those who were taken away for treatment for the first time, the people who were injured in the battle had basically died because they had not received treatment for a long time and lost too much blood, so they did not have to pay attention to looking for the wounded in the pile of dead people. .

Camilla, who fortunately escaped death in battle, also became one of the prisoners. He was escorted by the victors to a clean open space on the other side of the battlefield, and squatted on the ground with other captured comrades. , to accept the custody of the enemy.

No one thought of running away. Those who were able to run away had already run away in the previous chaos, and those who remained either failed to escape, or simply did not try and became prisoners, surrounded by the hands of the soldiers guarding them. The dark muzzle is also enough to deter their hearts to escape.

On the other hand, the officers in the captives were taken out of the crowd and took turns to be interrogated by the imperial people, trying to know the location of the First Army headquarters from their mouths. Sometimes harsh punishments are used to assist, and it is judged by the difference between each person’s confession.

Soon, they got the answers they wanted.

After getting the answer, the three divisions of the Imperial Army embarked on the journey again after simple repairs. One of their infantry brigade temporarily stayed in place to organize the spoils and prisoners. After the battle last night, they took a total of 2,000 prisoners. With more than 700 people, such a large number of prisoners of war cannot be easily handled.

Now that they are behind the enemy, the prisoners of war who can neither help them nor drag them down at any time are completely a thorny trouble. If they are taken away, it is very likely that various problems will affect their actions along the way. If they are released like this, they will also return to the army and take up arms against themselves again.

But if they chose to kill them all, the commanders of the three divisions would not dare to give such an order rashly. The massacre of prisoners of war would have two possible consequences. The resistance of the entire enemy army has aroused strong, and the second is to make the enemy feel fearful and fearful, and there is not enough fighting spirit to support them to continue fighting in the subsequent battle.

However, judging from the current situation, the probability of the first possibility is the highest, and the Enkelans who still have high fighting spirit will not allow their enemies to slaughter prisoners of war. In order not to become slaughtered prisoners of war, they will also Fight to the last minute and let the imperial army pay a few more casualties.

In order to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen, the three division commanders finally came to a consensus, that is, to leave a brigade of troops, take the prisoners of war to the Kingdom of Todes, and temporarily hand them over to the Todes for custody. The kingdom did not declare war on the Enklan Republic, and the Enklan army had no reason to invade the Todds Kingdom and rescue the prisoners of war – unless they wanted to drag the Todes Kingdom into the quagmire of war.

After leaving behind an infantry brigade, the three divisions of the Fourth Army re-started their journey according to the route explained by the captured officers. This time they changed into their own blue-blue military uniforms and displayed their own military flags openly. It is more comfortable to wear the military uniform of the military of other countries, or to wear it in your own country.

It is worth mentioning that although Charles has rebuilt the Borsland Empire, the national flag and military flag have not been changed for the time being. Both of these, Charles is ready to wait for the war to be completely over, and he will change it after he is crowned emperor. Needless to say, he also knows It is inappropriate to continue to use the national flag of the Rumont Republic and is not conducive to the so-called “national unity”.

…

On the other side, in the general headquarters of the First Army of Enkelland, the commander of the First Army, Donnie Blank, saw the embarrassed 7th Division officer who had escaped, and learned from the latter that the enemy had appeared in The bad news of annihilating the seventh division.

General Blank was already anxious about the battle on the front line, but now he encountered this incident again, and he almost pulled a lot of hair down.

“You mean the Seventh Division was attacked by the Todes army, are you sure it was the Todes?”

Blank paced back and forth in the command post, stopped suddenly, and reconfirmed with the officer of the 7th Division.

“It is indeed the Toddes army, they are wearing the uniforms of the Toddes army, I can see it very well,” the officer replied, “However, General Moreno believes that the attacking army is a Rumont disguise, and the Rumont are very It’s possible that something was agreed with the Todds in exchange for their support.”

“Damn Todds!” Blank cursed fiercely, he was convinced of the inference of his undecided subordinates, he did not think that the rotten and backward Todes army could defeat the first under his command. Seventh Division – To be precise, even if it took the lead in the night attack, it was impossible to beat the Seventh Division and have to retreat to the camp in just a few hours.

After cursing, Blank immediately realized his gaffe. He coughed lightly and said to the officer who was lucky enough to escape: “Go down and rest first, and I will let someone arrange a new place for you.”

“As ordered, General.” The officer replied with a salute, then turned and left.

After the officer left ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Blank slammed his fist on the table and made a dull sound. He ignored the pain in his fist and instructed a staff officer: “Go and call the congressmen. Come here and tell them there’s a military emergency.”

The staff officer led the way, leaving Blank to look at the military map spread on the table.

The headquarters where he is located is set up in a stronghold not too far from the front line, because he does not think that any enemy can kill here, so the security force here is only one infantry regiment, and other troops are deployed on the front line , leaving no reserve team that can be mobilized.

Therefore, if he wants to deal with the enemy who suddenly appeared from behind him, he must draw troops from the front line or seek reinforcements from the Third Army. The officer who just escaped just explained the information of the enemy’s attack. Without providing a specific number, he did not dare to rashly mobilize a small number of troops to meet the enemy until he knew the exact strength of the enemy.

But one thing is certain is that the enemy’s troops will only be more or less, otherwise, it is impossible to break through the defense of the seventh division in a short time, suppressing the seventh division in the camp and unable to move.
